Erwin Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Pitty this is also not included in the manual (F1) How to synchronise the PLC clock with the PC. Via ladder? Via the HMI Uniapps? (changing in uniapps and pushing the 'OK' doesn't work) or ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Currently the only method to modify the RTC is on the PLC itself, either through UniApps or by modifying the system tags using an HMI widget for the time or date.

s.pratt Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello, You may edit the RTC via the ladder and/or HMI Time elements for user entered time. This will require a "RTC Time" tag to be completed this way. Or you may hardcode the RTC via the System Struct, "RTC Time". It is also configurable via UniApps: from the System Tab choose "Time & Date" option. More information on the RTC elements can be found through the following directory in the help files: HMI Screen Editor/HMI Elements (HE)/Time and Date/Time and Date It is not possible to synchronize the PLC time with your PC time, unless you have a UTC time server on the PC you may connect to. However, you may choose to connect to other time servers via the intenet to perform this. There is an example of this in our "Sample Applications" download via the help tab in UniLogic. The application is called "UniStream_070_RFC_1305_UDFB" and can be found through the following directory: UniLogic Examples_V1.12 rev. 20/WIN7 or WINXP/Time based applications. Hope this helps.

Saragani Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 You can set the RTC by the UniLogic menus: PLC -> UniStream Management -> Set RTC This will synchronize the PLC time with the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi Erwin, I want to thank you for drawing this to my attention. The different ways of setting the RTC is now documented in the Help, and you will see it in the next version. The UniStream Help is still a work in progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
